Claudio (Roberto Farnesi) is a totally amoral actor and his fiancée, Arianna, is played by Elisabetta Pellini.
Nancy (Giorgia Marin) is a teenager who uses the internet as a showcase to whore herself and then blackmail her clients by telling them she's under 18 and forcing them to pay money to keep quiet.
